If you’re already in Valparaiso, we have the perfect walking tour for you to discover this eclectic city, learn about its culture, and sample some of the favorite foods (and drinks) in this diverse port city.

We will start at your Cerro Alegre/Concepcion hotel or in the main square, Plaza Sotomayor, where you’ll hear some of the history of this port city, learn about its favorite hero, and how the very land you’re standing on was reclaimed from the sea.  You will see beautiful old buildings reflecting the lost wealth of the past and ride one of Valparaiso’s famous antique funiculars servicing the winding and colorful hilltop streets of Cerros Alegre and Concepcion.

Wander the many cobbled streets, passages and staircases as you learn about Valparaiso’s golden years as one of the most important ports in South America. Marvel at the colorful streets and architecture as you hear stories from your local guide, and witness how the city has evolved into an artistic and gastronomic destination.

Along the way, you will have the chance to sample some of Chile’s favorite foods; a famous South American cookie, Chile’s favorite food, craft beer, other Chilean dishes, and Chile’s favorite dessert – ice cream, with a flavor you may have never seen before.

Finish your tour with a well-deserved rest, a traditional Pisco Sour and “picoteo” (snack) of Chilean products, all while enjoying arguably the best view over the port and the city below.  By the end of your tour, you’ll have a great feel for this charismatic city, its people the “Porteños”, and some of their favorite eats and treats.
